We have the three rights [historical, cultural, and holy places] and they [Israel] have lse claims, and a narrative which is based on illusions and bles, on Torah beliefs, and these two theories which are used about this land – we ourselves must be able to fill the theory which we adopt, so it will be stronger and more provable, and more acceptable – not only on the Palestinian and the Arab front, but also on the international front."
This video of Palestinian Ambassador to Lebanon, Abbas Zaki, shows how this distortion continues to be expressed:
Israeli-Arab tour guide:"Were now at the Golan Heights border (inside Israel). We are at the exact border between Palestine and Syria."
Member of the Fatah Central Committee, Sultan Abu Al-Einein, calls the Palestinian people to take part in the popular resistance and says:
District Governor of Jenin, Qadura Musa, expressed his appreciation for the cooperation between the [PA Ministry of] Culture and the university, demonstrating that our institutions emphasize their maintaining of heritage, which means maintaining identity and the land. He added that the presence of our people within the 48 territories (i.e., inside Israel) proves the profound connection between the members of a single nation in the Carmel, in the Galilee, and in the Triangle, who have maintained their heritage, their identity and their history, which the occupation tries to steal and to erase."

The 1917 Balfour Declaration was a letter from the British Foreign Minister Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild of the Zionist movement, which expressed Britains support for "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people." Every year on the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, Palestinian Authority leaders and official media issue harsh statements attacking it.
"Palestine’s war ended with a catastrophe that is unprecedented in history, when the Zionist gangs stole Palestine … and established the State of Israel."

Ahlam Tamimi:"The Israelis are a nation upon which it was decreed that it would be dispersed over the earth. Allah decreed this upon them, but international conspiracies, the Balfour Declaration, gave them the right to something to which they have no right."
"We must understand why Israel was established … [The Europeans] wanted to get rid of the Jews. … At that same time, energy [oil] was discovered in the Arab region … Then, they solved the [Jewish] problem by exporting [the Jews] to Israel [and at same time] they imposed their hegemony on the region’s natural resources. The [purpose of the] State of Israel is not for the Jews but it is an ongoing [colonial] project, an outpost for Imperialism.

"We must change the foundations of the conflict with this evil enemy, and I say that I have no fear of condemnation and criticism when it comes to Allah, because a nation whose land is occupied and who relinquishes resistance in all its forms, styles and manners – I say that this nation that relinquishes its elementary rights to all forms, styles and manners of resistance, is not worthy of having a homeland and is not worthy of having a place on earth. We must inculcate resistance in all its forms in every region, especially as we are situated just a few meters from our land, from the land of our ancestors, which was occupied in 1948."

The difference between Hitler and [British Foreign Minister] Balfour was : the former [Hitler] did not have colonies to send the Jews to, so he destroyed them, whereas Balfour ...[turned] Palestine into his colony and sent the Jews. Balfour is Hitler with colonies, while Hitler is Balfour without colonies. They both wanted to get rid of the Jews...Zionism was crucial to the defense of the West, [by] ridding Europe of the burden ofthe Jews.
PA TV host:"The heritage and culture and the entire history is being snatched at this time by the occupation, which has tried by all methods for Palestine not to reach this stage and this very important point."

"Today is the 94th anniversary of the cursed Balfour promise [The Balfour Declaration of 1917], by which Britain awarded the Jews the right to establish a national home in Palestine, based on the lse slogan, A land without a people for a people without a land. ... This promise represented the first step taken by the West on the road to establishing an entity for the Jews on the land of Palestine, in accordance with the wishes of World Zionism, at the expense of a people which had been rooted in this land for thousands of years. ... The Jews made successful use of the piece of published by Arthur Balfour, known for his friendship with the Zionist Movement, and later the [British] Mandate and the 1947 resolution by the [UN] General Assembly concerning the Partition of Palestine: They realized their dream of establishing [the State of] Israel on May 15th, 1948, and this entity earned membership in the UN thanks to pressure by the super powers. Israel became the first country in the history of the global political system which was established on land belonging to others, and which receives international aid which has caused it to behave arrogantly in the region - expanding, swallowing more Palestinian and Arab territory, and behaving violently and mercilessly towards those among the Palestinian people who remain upon their land."

The Palestinian Authority adamantly rejects Israel’s right to exist and rewrites history to deny the 3,000-year-old connection of Jews to the Land Israel. [See "Rewriting History" section.] The essential message of the PA to its people is that Jews have no historical connection to the land, and that the State of Israel was created by the colonial powers for two reasons: to rid their countries of Jews, and to establish a colonial bridgehead in order to control the region. One particularly horrific expression of this ideology appeared in the official PA daily as r back as 1998:
PA TV News reports on initiative to confiscate merchandise from Israel:
In October 2011, Jewish extremists set fire to the mosque in the village of Tuba Al-Zangariya in the Upper Galilee inside Israel. Discussing the crime, this article did not recognize Israel’s right to exist, but referred to Israel as the occupied territories of 1948.
Denying Israels right to exist,The following description of Israels founding in a Palestinian schoolbook represents the dominant dogma about Israel:
The Palestinian Authority makes no attempt to educate its people towards peace and coexistence with Israel. On the contrary,from every possible platform itrepeatedly rejects Israels right to exist, presents the conflict as a religious battle for Islam, depicts the establishment of Israel as an act of imperialism, andperpetuates a picture of the Middle East, both verbally and visually, in which Israel does not exist at all. Israels destruction is said to be both inevitable and a Palestinian obligation.
The ‘Fantasia’ group from the city Shram, in the ’48 territories (i.e., Israel), brought some joy to hundreds of children from the Jenin district yesterday.
"The German-French Cultural Center in Ramallah hosted writer and activist Omar Barghouti among other events held at the literary café, marking the publication of his book, "Denying Israels right to existBoycott, Disinvestment, Sanctions" in French… Barghouti added that the boycott campaign, which involves Palestinians wherever they may be, including in the territories occupied in 1948 (i.e., in Israel), is based on an end to the three-fold persecution of the Palestinian people –occupation, racial discrimination, and prevention of the return of refugees… Concerning the boycott campaign, Barghouti said that he focuses not only on the boycott of Israeli goods; [rather,] it is a comprehensive campaign to boycott all Israeli goods… [as well as] boycott of international institutions and international companies which collaborate with the occupation. Barghouti added that the success of the campaign does not mean that Tapuzina (Israeli soft drink) will disappear from the market, because what is r more important than this is the boycotting of Israeli academic and cultural institutions, owing to their role as partners in the occupation and apartheid regime."
"The extremist settler terror is intensifying. Under cover of darkness two nights ago, they burned the mosque in the village of Tuba Al-Zangariya in the Upper Galilee, causing anger among the Islamic and Arab groups in the West Bank and in the occupied territories of 1948 (i.e., Israel)… Sheikh Yusuf Juma Salameh, speaker at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and first deputy of the Chairman of the Supreme Islamic Council in Jerusalem, denounced the despicable crime… [He said] the occupation authorities have also destroyed dozens of mosques inside occupied 1948 Palestine."

Dr. Al-Mutawakkil Taha, Palestinian Minister of Information:"[The occupation] claims that it has legitimacy in three areas. It argues that it has the historical right to the land, and argues that it has the right to the [unintelligible]… and the holy places. It argues that it has the cultural right to all its cultural components – I refer to the clothing, the food and drink, the poetry and the language, and the heritage and the folklore and so on. Now, we must consistently work on a world-view which will stand up to this forcible theft, with the occupation aspiring to seize the three areas of [our] rights [historical and cultural rights, and rights to the holy places]. We must have means on the level of the narrative, the anchoring of history – on the level of united action and cultural unity. We have a vision, we have an established and professional strategy, to respond on all fronts to the lse claims of the Zionists that they have the right… As to the occupation – we know [their claims], we are in an eternal, endless struggle with the occupation over legitimacy…
"Member of the National Council and executive director of the Ministry of Culture, poet Abd Al-Nasser Salah… emphasized that our people condemns the occupations continued assault on Muslim houses of prayer, mosques, and cemeteries, and the recent burning of the mosque in the 48 territories (i.e., inside Israel), threatening to ignite a religious war."
